Fried Cauliflower

My kids loved this!

1/2 head cauliflower
1 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup of so of flour for dredging
1/4 cup or so of bread crumbs

Take the cauliflower and trim it into pieces with 1" stems. Boil in salted water for 5 minutes and then drain. Heat the oil in a frying pan, just a thin layer really, less than 1/2" deep.

Use pie pans or small plates or bowls and put the flour in one, the egg in another, and the bread crumbs in the final one.

Use a pair of forks to dredge the cauliflower pieces in flour, then egg, then bread crumbs. Set the cauliflower gently in the hot oil, letting the breading brown before turning. When all sides are browned, lift the pieces out and lay on brown paper or paper towels to absorb some of the oil.

Salt and pepper to taste.
